Supplies & Maintenance

Computers are an essential part of printing and work.

For the last forty years, computers and printers have been two key office fixtures that people depend on for vital data exchange.

At STPT, our expertise is in printers and Xerox office equipment. But, our time in the business has also taught us a thing or two about computers and their maintenance. Printers connect to your computer's network, so our STPT printer experts must have advanced computer technology knowledge to ensure your printer stays running.

However, all technology is prone to error and requires constant maintenance to continue functioning at a high level.

If you don't put the effort in now to keep your computer running smoothly, then you'll likely have to pay for that lack of effort later with steep replacement costs and extra maintenance fees.

Have you decided to recycle your used toner cartridges in an eco-friendly way? If so, you might be wondering how to do it. Unlike water bottles or soda cans, toner cartridges require special handling as they are electronic waste. However, the good news is that recycling e-waste, including toner cartridges, has become more accessible in recent years thanks to the growing awareness of environmental issues. 

In the last few years, we at STPT have witnessed our customers show increased interest in sustainable printer options. Every year, millions of cartridges end up in landfills, releasing harmful heavy metals into the air and water. That's why individuals, companies, and organizations need to make recycling a part of their mission.  

Everything is chugging along nicely: your service technician just repaired your printer’s belt for you, which was failing and causing printer slowdowns. 

Now, you’re ready to get your printer up and running again so you can stay on top of important business orders.

Except, only two weeks later, your printer is stalled again. 

As more and more projects pile up, you have to wait for your service technician to come back out to your location and replace two additional parts. 

Now, you’re several days behind schedule, and your clients are not happy. Your employees are finding it difficult to complete work tasks, and everyone is falling behind. 

Unfortunately, scenarios like this one sometimes happen when you’re on a basic preventative maintenance plan. 

If your service tech had just checked those other parts when they repaired the printer belt, you could have avoided this problem.

No one likes having to replace toner cartridges.

Toner can be messy, expensive, and replacing a cartridge can be time consuming if you’re not a seasoned pro. If you’re having to spend hours of time replacing toner cartridges, then you’re losing out on valuable time and money that could be spent on important work tasks.

Besides, there’s so much information out there about toner that it’s difficult to figure out what kind of toner to buy or how often to replace your toner cartridge after installation.

As Xerox Diamond Authorized Solution Partners, our print experts at STPT are well-versed in printer toner and other print supplies.

In 2020, it was reported that Chromebooks were outselling Macs two to one. 

Although many people assumed the sudden increase in Chromebook sales was directly related to the Covid-19 pandemic, recent research indicates that Chromebooks by Google and the Chrome OS continues to attract consumer interest because of its low price and easy-to-use interface.

Now, more and more small businesses and organizations are turning to Chromebooks as a cheaper alternative to Windows and Macbook computers.

But as more organizations begin to use Chromebooks in the office, the issue of Chromebook printer compatibility has become more important than ever before.
